This crazy ass church has placed over 3000 billboards like the one below (1200 in the US and 2000 around the world) announcing that the end of the world begins next Saturday (heading towards complete destruction on October 21st of this year).

Is this disgusting or what? 3000 billboards times whatever many thousands of dollars that it may cost to purchase these spaces on a monthly basis. This money could have been donated to worthy causes, but instead they have chosen to force this garbage upon us for the past year or so. Down here in South Florida we have this crap towering along the highways every so often.

So what will y'all be doing this week since next weekend is the beginning of the end? I can't decide on whether is should retire to a monastery in search of peace and forgiveness or move down to Brazil and spend the next few months in absolute debauchery.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

I wonder if the whole rapture thing will be like being beamed up on Star Trek? That would be so cool.

On another note, haven't they figured out that their planned day of rapture occurs on the sabbath --- Me thinks the rapture activity would be considered work, thus, I don't see it happening - now, maybe on Sunday - but that is the finale of Celebrity Apprentice (Part 2 of the two part finale) and don't see it happening during that either - maybe Monday --- does anyone know if there are any season finale's on that evening? I just don't see it happeniing during sweeps month on tv --- the network execs are too powerfuil - then again, I guess an event like the rapture might also have high ratings - still don't know if it would beat out Celebrity Apprentice, American Idol, or Dancin with the Stars (at least not among many gay viewer demographics)

I really think there needs to be more planning into this whole rapture thing - requires a better marketing crew (I mean those billboards really aren't as attention getting as they could be), their publicist needs to be replaced as pre-event promo has really been lacking --- and who plans a rapture on a Saturday evening in May? Geesh!

I'm just glad that it didn't happen this weekend. I woulda been really pissed if I had to miss the season finale of Survivor: Redemption Island (shitty as this season has been I still wanna see the expression on Boston Rob's face when he doesn't win the million bucks).

I'll probably just continue as is, hoping for a reprieve before that final day. Afterall, HIV wasn't the end of the world for me either. Still have to bring home the fucking bacon and be nice to babies, dogs, and old ladies on the street.

Since I missed the first release of T's Peenie, I will expect to see a copy in my PM today.

It was available only at a certain "dating" website. Quite the beauty I must say.

BTW I'd go for the Debauchery in Brazil, and take Miss P with you...Monasteries are so boring.

If I recall correctly from my lessons as a child it is considered kosher.

Nasty girl. Now you've definitely undone whatever good that those recipe books may have done for ya.

Thank you for the nice wallpaper, Philicia.

Don't waste your time, boo. Haley, the girl who errbody seems to hate, will be the winnah. That's how angry our Lord Jebus is at this sinful world.

A guy in line at the grocery talked about this upcoming biblically historic event.

He said that the Right Reverend at this church informed the congregation that everyone should be sure to check their Rapture tickets, that will automatically appear on their person before travel, and look for the codes next to their names:

AH (Ascend to Heaven) DH (Descend to Hell)

P.S. I didn't know that the Glorious Rapture Committee had an IT Department.

If I am to hang out for eternity with the members of that congregation I then need to be really evil this week. Fuck that shit.
